Here's something for everyone to chew on...If you like Bush then you'll be doing the Happy-Dance, here in a few short weeks! If you want Kerry.. Then you better get your butt-out their and your not-dead yet...Gramma. And for vote for Kerry or you have no one to blame but yourself...
Walker;" It must be tough being a baby boomer president, or presidential candidate. From Bill Clinton through George W. Bush and on to the next few elections, the candidates will have been raised in an atmosphere of radical social change. Flower children, recreational drugs, sexual permissiveness and changing attitudes on everything from race relations and gender definitions to America's military role. They've experienced it all. Now those times are coming back to haunt the candidates. Vietnam, pop drugs, service to country. Forests disappear as authors crank out exposes on candidates' pasts, and television is abuzz with political soap opera. It's ironic that their forebears who lived in presumably more circumspect times. Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, did not get the personal scrutiny today's candidates endure, even though each had skeletons rattling in his closet. Of course, media wasn't as pervasive then and there was a gentleman's agreement that what a man did in his private life or younger days was his business. That agreement reached dangerous extremes when the press failed to expose how gravely ill Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt were during their terms. Barring any extraordinary events or huge gaffes, both of which could happen. George W. Bush will be re-elected. The popular vote will be close, but not as close as 2000. Bush will win by at least several hundred thousand votes. The Electoral College won't be that close. Most of the important toss-up states will go to Bush. John Kerry has failed to ignite the enthusiasm of undecided voters, who will opt for the familiarity of the incumbent rather than the uncertainties of the challenger, even if they're not 100 percent sold on the man in office. 2008? Let's repeal the 22nd Amendment so Bill Clinton can run against George Bush........Whoa, doggie! Pop the corn and ice down the beer! Wouldn't that be a humdinger?"
